The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Conventional or "Assault" Stock for My Wife

My wife complains that the conventional stock on her Rem 870 is not comfortable (to thick for her hand) to hold.

I am thinking perhaps that an "assault" stock (one with both conventional stock and pistol grip) will allow her more comfort and recoil control.

What do the folks here think? I know that a lot of purists like the conventional stock, but think of it through the eyes of someone who is modest in size and strength.

Thanks.
